I like the composition and the lighting in the foreground.  May want to back off on the highlights though, they seem overexposed.  Might be a good HDR candidate.

Does your tripod have a hook that you can use to suspend a weight of some kind (like your camera bag)?  That could stabilize it some.

Good one!  I assume you photoshopped that into the shot?

Good job!  I think you have a good eye for interesting compositions.  Top shot looks over-HDRed.

I'm no pro, and the subjects are backlit, but there are some in-flight air show photos on my site:

Nice shot.  I'm heading there for Thanksgiving.  I'll have to get my sister to take me down there to shoot.

Maybe invest in a sweatband?

I like the shot where she's holding the flower to her mouth the most.  The flower provides a color accent and she is framed on 3 sides by the foliage and the fence.  Good job!

There's a lot of bright color accents there, but the side pose doesn't have any interest (to me).  Now some shots while on the side of the cliff, THAT would be interesting!  Did you get any other shots?

Very nice!  I like the top 2 the most, the 2nd one being my favorite because I like how the model is counterbalanced by the falling leaves.
